Typically I have 2-3 going at a time. But my sessions commonly last for 2 days for most of my tea.

On my tea tray right now is a aged shen in a yixing from last night, a baozhong in a ceramic gaiwan from noon and a aged TKG from this morning in my glass gaiwan. That is a very typical tea moment for me.

me too. on the tea tray there could be a few pots laying around with various teas that can be continued the next day or not. depends what teas.

I usually drink one tea, typically in the morning (and on an empty stomach more often than is probably ideal). I'll make 5-12 infusions or so of it, and usually drink just a small (~ 30 ml maybe?) cup or two of each infusion, with the other cup for the teapot I'm using or my little water buffalo ornament who hangs out with me at work).

Sometimes I'll make tea in the early afternoon as well.

For special occasions (tea tastings and such), I can handle a lot more tea, but I find that drinking a lot of strong tea every day tends to not agree with my system, even if I try to ramp it up slowly.

If there are a few friends around at the weekend tea and single malt make great buddies ,a few sips of the whisky and off to the tea cave to find a suitable pairing. It keeps everybody happy although some end up a little happier than others.
